Sweet and Saucy Chicken

I hadn't made this chicken for well over a year and I am so glad I did.

first you must know that Jon is not the biggest chicken fan, so I am always a bit hesitant with chicken dishes.

But he could not get enough of this, seriously the whole time he was making yummy sounds and telling me repeatedly how delicious it was.

It made me happy :)

I served mine with a heaping pile of steamed broccoli, zucchini, and asparagus and a slice of the best bread on the face of the earth, honey whole wheat from Great Harvest YUM, thanks mom! Of course you can't have that amazing bread without some amazing home-made strawberry jam on top, I'm drooling just thinking about it...

Anyways here you go, sweet and saucy/spicy chicken.

What you need:

6 chicken breasts

2 Cups Salsa- one thing I like so much about this recipe is you can make it however spicy you want, I used medium heat salsa and it had just the right amount of kick for us (we're kind of wussy in the spicy department)

1/3 Cup Brown Sugar

2 Tablespoons Honey Dijon Mustard

-I didn't want to make 6 chicken breasts so I used 3 and cut everything in half, worked perfectly.

Start by putting your chicken in an oven safe dish, I scored my chicken slightly as well to help get flavor in.

Also use a dish that your chicken fits snugly in so that the juice stays on top and around chicken instead of running off into the pan.

Then in another bowl combine the rest of ingredients and mix, then poor over chicken.
